Brookfields Back Block Hawke's Bay Syrah 2024

Description

Oak, Plum, Spice

"Deep ruby-red with a deep purple core, slightly lighter on the rim. The nose is appealing, with aromas of blackberry, cherry, violet and spice. Medium-full bodied, with aromas of blackberry and cherry, interwoven with violet, cigar leaf and black pepper. The fruit is beautifully ripe with juicy acidity, unfolding floral fragrance. Soft, silky tannins lightly coated the bright fruit, layering gentle spice and cigar leaf nuances, lending a pleasing finish. This Syrah boasts a pure, youthful expression, ready for early consumption" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Nov 2025

Inviting and generous, 2024 Back Block Syrah is rich in plum, blackcurrant, spice and succulent tannins. Packed with weight and complexity. History recorded that the Knights Templar brought Syrah back to France from Persia. Science disputes this. What can’t be challenged is its popularity – Salute!

Food Pairing: Slow-cooked Beef Cheek.
